An airliner has a pump to compress outside air for use by the people inside. Then it lets out an equal amount of old air, to keep the pressure constant. There is supplemental oxygen systems, but they are only used in emergencies, and are nothing more than a tank and pressure regulator. There is no CO2 scrubbing,…

Listen, I realize this is home of the wingnuts here on Splinter, but no one is starting anything. This country has no appetite for a civil war, on either side. Life here is way too good, no matter how many riled up idiots on the fringes think otherwise.

This. America should be leading the attack and coordinating the war effort. Just as we did in Libya. It’s time for America to lead, and Trump is no leader.

Come back when I can smoke a rack of cricket ribs. 

Sounds like you not having kids was always going to be a positive for humanity.

Not to mention we’re the biggest consumers of their cheap tech, toys and clothes.

China originally WAS the bad guy in the new Red Dawn,

My point was, her ideas are no more insane then what is peddled in thousands of churches on a daily basis.

My last game of little league I hit a dinger (my first ever, I had no idea it was even gone until I got to second and the second baseman is giving me that “why are you running” face. I just knew I got solid metal on it). My coach says I can play any position I want, so I figured I’d go in and throw an inning.

Think of all those years he spent not straining his arm, though!

Real talk, this is actually incredible. Ok, it’s really hard to hit a pitched baseball. But this is the bare-minimum for pro hitters, so it’s like second nature to them. We see this every time a shitty pitcher (starter or reliever; definitely reliever) gets lit up: there’s nothing but punishment for those who can…

How about I like his policies better than Bernie or Warrens, and also because unlike the two of them he’s not ashamed to identify with and register with the party that I identify with and have all my life, and also because he’s committed to preserving and building upon Obama’s legacy as president which is top-of-frame…

What did I say about having this gaping asshole on my screen this early in the morning?

“I have known Emperor Palpatine for many years, and while I supported and helped fund his efforts to construct a Death Star, I did not support his decision to blow up Alderaan”

I kind of wish we had US airports that are a little more fancy. London, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, so much better.

So according to the GOP... science is a hoax, the Russia investigation is a hoax, the KKK is a hoax, and God is real. You know what I’m starting to think the real hoax is?

Joe Biden isn’t going to be the nominee. But he could be. If that’s a troubling thought for you—or if you’re troubled by the thought that any of the other candidates might be the nominee, get past it now. The primary season is about the candidate we select to win the next election and carry the mantle into the next…

OMG FFS bringing up that the Democrats were the confederate party back then is so stupid BECAUSE YOU REPUBLICANS ARE THE CONFEDERATE PARTY NOW!

“He has been pretty clear that he doesnt want the U.S. involved in any more ME wars.”

I think he’s much more likely to go to war (or try to) with one of our allies.
